Replication not restarting after network failure

[lwennekers]

When Firebird starts and the configurerd journal_source_directory is inaccessible it does not retry later on. This behaviour would be nice when using a network share, the share might
not be available when firebird starts but can be available later on.

Perhaps I'm missing some settings but I noticed this behavior
With kind regards,

Please test the next snapshot build, it should be fixed there.

Already tested from your build and I succeeded to run my tests. Hopefully 4.0.2 is coming soon :)

To be discussed. Perhaps, test may not be implemented using current QA suite.

Hello,
I don't know if it's the same issue but I see some network problems while replicating inside the replication.log. See below. It seems reporting network problems but while investigating it is possible to connect on both machines and the UNC paths are available. It also seems that once a while all replication-files remain and we get a full disk error.
We are using Firebird 4.0.2.

Looks like network sometimes has connectivity problems.

Oke I accept but in that case will the replication stop? It seems that the network was correct later on but the replication didn't continue and the number of files where increasing????
